Is This A "No Spin" Zone?

[SAW]

Hello Steve,

I have one question which, depending on your answer, may lead to others so I'm just going to shotgun them at you.

1. Can a character use their inches of Running or Flight to spin in place like a top (or maybe Swimming I don't see any other movement powers being able to do this)? And just to be clear I don't mean move in a circle in the same hex, I mean spin.

If the answer is yes then:

1a. Can this be used as the "running" part of a running throw? Kind of like the hammer toss or the discus throw.

1b. Can you use centrifugal force to help you escape being held? Could you convert your movement to STR like using your flight to help you lift something (p. 364 5ER)?

Thanks much for your time.

No. A character could buy such an ability, though — see various powers in the “Whirling Powers” sections of USPD2 or USP.
